The Grammys is a notoriously long ceremony (“like, three f***ing hours”) and Capaldi found he could only relax once Billie Eilish won Song of the Year for “Bad Guy”. “I was having a panic attack the entire time,” Capaldi says, although he adds that he enjoyed Usher’s tribute to Prince (“It was more sexual than I was expecting”).
